Title says it all. Got some time to kill while in Orlando.
Recommend a good store to visit in the area.

World Wide Corals and Sea In The City

AkaSlyGuy · 12/02/2012, 09:08 PM

Sea In The City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have spent a LOT of vacation money there.....3 times

joec · 12/02/2012, 09:22 PM

Where will you be staying?

Sea In The City are World Wide Corals are both great suggestions. Two of my favorites, for sure.

I've never been to Living Reef, but I've heard great things.

Here is a good link with all of our LFS - listed out and also on a map. Orlando LFS map

Hope that helps!!

Holly molly thank you guys. There goes the budget.....

Ocean Blue and Living Reef are two of my favorites.

Ocean Blue, Living Reef, Sea in the City, World Wide Corals. Those are the ones worth seeing.

dRockReefer · 12/03/2012, 02:14 PM

Don't be discouraged by the outward appearance of Sea in the City. I went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it's a great store on the inside with a great selection.

World Wide Corals has some of the most impressive Display Tanks I've seen.

Anybody have experience traveling with coral? I have only a 2 hour flight with 30 min drive before and after.

dRockReefer · 12/04/2012, 09:19 PM

I'm sure you'll be fine with the time. I'm not sure about getting it through the airport. Someone with experience will have to weigh in on that.

kriv4o · 12/04/2012, 09:20 PM

That's what I afraid of......

I have brought some coral back from MACNA. put it in plastic water bottle or clean urine sample bottles and in a ziplock in your checked in luggage. Mine was fine after 5 hour trip flying.
